Throughout the 2013 NFL season, opposing defenses have cleaned up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ struggling offense. Now, it seems teams are literally cleaning up after the Bucs.

According to a report from Fox 13 in Tampa Bay, a cleaning crew entered the visiting locker room after the Falcons’ 31-23 victory on Sunday in an attempt to scrub any possible traces ofmethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from the Georgia Dome.

The workers, clad in hazmat suits, were hired by the Falcons because they worried that Tampa Bay players could be carrying the very antibiotic-resistant infection. The city of Atlanta is famously the home of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
